I've just agreed to take on an order of t-shirts that are to be collected in the morning.

I've just cut the first lot of vinyl and timed it to see how long it took - then I multiplied this by the amount of t-shirts required and guess what!

My machine will be cutting vinyl for the next 14hrs!

Suddenly the idea of taking the job on and working out how long (just for fun) it will take doesn't seem like a good idea!

(and I haven't took into account the weeding, pressing and packaging)

Someone's in for a late one i've done this many times i still haven't learned

All i can say is good luck

Tell me about it Matthew/Craig - why do we do it!

And here's me - I just work out that I've just enough time in my day today to smile so I jump straight on the forum and waste more time (lol)

At the moment I'm looking for those pixies that live under my counter, you know, the ones that my customers think come out at night and make things whilst I sit at home and watch Coronation Street!

I often think "why do i do it" lol

I think some of my customers think i have a team of umpa lumpas hiding away that come out and do all the work in no time

Hi AdamB

Good luck is the first point!!!

I have just had exactly the same although I think mine is a little easier. Got my Versacamm installed yesterday and casually mentioned it to a customer of mine. Was going to have a little play today but alas, this particular customer has come back with an order for 5000 kiss cut stickers that need to be shipped tomorrow.

Have no idea how long the job is going to take as its the first one with this machine, but at least all I have to do is sit there and watch it print

Let me know how it goes Simon

Remember that when you have been up all night and got them ready for the morning the client will ring to say they cannot collect till later lol
